"Yes, I parked in a handicapped spot, and, yes, I am allowed to do that," she wrote on Facebook. "Were you in Walmart two weeks ago when I walked in OK but shortly after I lost the ability to walk in the Christmas decoration aisle? My muscles in my leg cramped up so bad and my foot literally curled into a ball."

Friend said she was shocked the next morning to see hateful comments underneath her Facebook post.

“I genuinely wanted to try and read all the comments and thank people who are being supportive and stuff,” she said. “And I actually had to sit at the dining room table and I cried. Some people are so mean.”

It's not clear who left the message and scratched her car. Tullytown police are investigating.
